Pat McAfee<\/strong><\/a> has announced that Aaron Rodgers<\/strong><\/a> will not make any future appearances on his ESPN show this season amid the NFL star\u2019s controversial comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Aaron Rodgers Tuesdays<\/em> season 4 is done,\u201d McAfee, 36, said during the Wednesday, January 10 episode of The Pat McAfee Show<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThere will be a lot of people that will be happy with that, myself included, to be honest with you. The way it ended, it got real loud. I\u2019m happy that that is not going to be my mentions going forward, which is great news.\u201d<\/p>\n

McAfee continued that they \u201care very lucky to get a chance to chat with [Rodgers] and learn from him,\u201d as he\u2019s \u201ca huge part\u201d of the NFL.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of his thoughts and opinions, though, do piss off a lot of people,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m pumped that that is no longer every single Wednesday of my life, which it has been for the last few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\tJimmy Kimmel and Aaron Rodgers\u2018 feud began long before the quarterback insinuated the comedian had a connection to Jeffrey Epstein. Kimmel began poking fun at Rodgers, who played for the Green Bay Packers for 18 seasons before joining the New York Jets in April 2023, after the NFL player came under fire for being dishonest [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rodgers, 40, who had been a weekly guest on the show, reportedly received seven figures per year to make his appearances on Tuesdays, according to the New York Post<\/em><\/a>. McAfee confirmed to the outlet in October 2023 that Rodgers \u201chas made over $1,000,000 with us, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve given a lot of people who have been waiting for us to fail a lot of ammo and things to attack us for over the last week,\u201d McAfee said on Wednesday. \u201cAnd we would love to get back to the point where we just move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The New York Jets quarterback made headlines earlier this month when he insinuated during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show<\/em> that Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong> should be worried about the names on the late Jeffery Epstein<\/strong>\u2019s list. The claim implied that the late night host, 56, had a connection to the accused sex offender.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I will definitely be popping some sort of bottle,\u201d Rodgers said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAaron Rodgers is one of the best-ever quarterbacks to play in the NFL, but it\u2019s often his antics off the field that get the most people talking. Rodgers \u2014 who was the Green Bay Packers superstar quarterback for 18 seasons before joining the New York Jets in April 2023 \u2014 came under fire in November [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In response, Kimmel slammed Rodgers for his allegations<\/a> and threatened to pursue legal action.<\/p>\n

\u201cDear A\u2013hole: for the record, I\u2019ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any \u2018list\u2019 other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can\u2019t seem to distinguish from reality,\u201d Kimmel wrote via X (formerly Twitter) on January 2. \u201cYour reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court. @AaronRodgers12.\u201d<\/p>\n

McAfee, for his part, apologized during his show<\/a> and suggested the joke went too far.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can see exactly how Jimmy Kimmel felt especially with his position, but I think Aaron was trying to talk s\u2013t. Now, did it go too far? Jimmy Kimmel certainly said that was the case,\u201d McAfee said. \u201cWe obviously don\u2019t like to be associated with anything negative ever. We\u2019d like our show to be an uplifting one, a happy one, a fun one, but it\u2019s because we talk s\u2013t and try to make light of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tCelebrity feuds are so captivating that there\u2019s even an award-winning Ryan Murphy anthology TV series devoted to the topic. While some A-list beefs seem inevitable \u2014 Nicki Minaj vs. Cardi B, for example, or Jef Holm vs. Arie Luyendyk Jr. \u2014 others seem to come out of nowhere. Freddie Prinze Jr., for instance, spoke ill [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kimmel also addressed Rodgers\u2019 \u201cdamaging\u201d allegations<\/a> during his monologue on his ABC\u2019s Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> following a holiday hiatus and denied his connection to Epstein once again. (ESPN and ABC are both owned by Disney.)<\/p>\n
